All Saint's Day of the Dead Girl Walking the Line
Well, that was fun. I hope everyone came away satisfied with his or her Halloween tarot reading/mortgage lending/fucked-up domain renewal circus of terror courtesy of agirlandaboy.com.
I don't want to talk about it.
I also don't want to talk about the move. I did it, I'm out, the end.
I especially don't want to talk about how this morning when I passed by the thrift store at which we dropped off the last bag of my clothes I saw one of my beloved sundresses and one of my beloved fluorescent bikini tops laying there all bedraggled and forgotten on the sidewalk. I wanted to pick them up and hug them to me and whisper furtive apologies for leaving them to such a fate, but, like I said, I don't really want to talk about it.
I also don't want to talk about Halloween, although I should point out that not only did we forgo dressing up and hanging out with the stabbin' and shootin' crowd in the Castro (Teddy and Simon: I TOLD YOU SO), we also didn't carve pumpkins. This marks only the second time in my entire life that I haven't carved pumpkins (the other time being last year), and although there was no way in hell we could have made that kind of time and mess commitment in the midst of the boxes and the crying and the psychic Chinese astrology travel agent video rentals, I sincerely hope Simon and I haven't inadvertently started a tradition of omission where jack-o-lanterns are concerned.
Now, if you'll all please look to your right, you'll see below the ads (which didn't get any traffic all day yesterday; grrr; there goes that $2 nest egg I was counting on) that I've signed up for a certain contagious mental illness going around called NaBloPoMoHoCho. This is Day 1 (rabbit, rabbit). How am I doing so far?
Here are some things that don't suck:
Heather Champ's 10 seconds
Amy is getting married!
Beck is having a girl!
Juniper is a panda!
Tonight we are having SUSHI.

Posted by: dutch from sweet juniper at November 1, 2006 11:39 AMGlad things are back to right on the internets, I was concerned!
Posted by: felicity at November 1, 2006 12:08 PMAmanda told me about the weird happenings with your site, but I didn't experience it myself. Looking forward to sharing mental posting illness with you :)
Posted by: Angella at November 1, 2006 12:31 PMvery cool photo. and regarding sushi: consider the ability to consume it as one of the best things about being not-pregnant the next time you are overwhelmed with baby longing ;)
Posted by: lei at November 1, 2006 01:07 PMmmmmm....sushi....
I am already drooling in anticipation of our trip to CA in November. Because sushi is on the list.
Glad everything is OK with your site!
Posted by: Emily at November 1, 2006 01:22 PMPregnant co-worker and I slunk down to Little Tokyo today for 1 last sushi hurrah before she has to acknowledge that she's knocked up and shouldn't be eating sushi or something. I don't know, I didn't know pregant women weren't allowed to have sushi but she was moaning about brie and sushi and having kids so close together and I was trying to look empathetic while stuffing as much salmon nigiri down my craw as possible.
Ah gotta run, annoying attorney looking at me like I'm going to solve all his problems. I've already kept him dangling for 30 minutes just for my personal amusement.
Posted by: monkey at November 1, 2006 01:54 PMDamn it, I still suck.
Posted by: will at November 1, 2006 01:58 PMIt's all about balance, Will.
Posted by: Leah at November 1, 2006 02:18 PMyou are so very very cool for sharing my happiness!
Posted by: Amy at November 1, 2006 02:49 PMAnother person who says "rabbit, rabbit." I like you more and more each day.
Posted by: candace at November 1, 2006 03:13 PMAh, all is back to normal.
I have never carved a pumpkin in my life.
Posted by: Lulu at November 1, 2006 03:16 PMI thought your blog had died and gone to blogger heaven, all "I'm way too cool for a goodbye post, y'all."
I'm glad to see that's not, uh, the case. Yay. And another yay to living together.
Posted by: Clink at November 1, 2006 04:10 PMYou make an awfully attractive dead person.
Posted by: Kristin at November 1, 2006 06:23 PMSushi. I'd like sushi. Actually I'd like to go to Blowfish in San Francisco and have sushi and a mojito (God, their mojitos are the best ever)
Posted by: jonniker at November 1, 2006 06:42 PMI am SO glad that your blog is no longer lost and gone forever on my computer! Seriously, I was starting to panic.
Posted by: Amanda at November 1, 2006 07:11 PMIt's never too late to carve a pumpkin. You could cut one up like a turkey and then make pumpkin pie. Sort of a seamless transition to the next holiday, no?
Posted by: Texas T-bone at November 1, 2006 08:44 PMI missed you! I missed you! I was so distressed yesterday. AND I ALSO DIDN'T GET TO CARVE A PUMPKIN THIS YEAR!!!! I shall blog about that also because it is a tragedy. I'm so glad you're back!
Posted by: saj at November 2, 2006 07:34 AMI didn't stop by and see the weird site. Oops. I also don't see any ads on your site (never have), so don't blame me for not clicking! I was going to sign up for the insanity, but didn't. I'm going to unofficially participate and try to post every day this month anyway.
